Re: Above & Beyond Investigations
Friday had never really dealt with her feelings for Mirage. Lucas had claimed her heart before she'd gotten the chance to think about them. Still, the enigmatic woman meant the world to her.
Giving her as passionate a hug as she'd given the two men (well, perhaps Lucas' hug was a little more passionate), Friday looked at all of them once she'd released Mirage.
The body of Paul Randall is missing from the long-term care hospice that he'd been put in by his parents. I bribed one of the workers to keep me informed of what was going on there, since the parents and I had parted on such.....poor terms.
She remembered the fight they'd all had when the Randalls had insisted on taking their son back to Texas to recover from (or linger in) his coma, rather then leaving him in the care of "some Yankee doctors and his teenage groupie."
Friday sighed.
My guy inside says that the parents were frantic and threatening to sue and/or "kick everyone's ass". They might have been lying, but it seems unlikely. I need to go there to find out what happened.
Friday smiled reassuringly at the rest of them.
There were a lot of enemies made in this office over the years, but I doubt it was any kind of Para involvement. I shouldn't need any help, but I'll let you know if I do, trust me.
The young woman's grin spoke plainly that she knew that she could count on everyone in the room, no matter what. And she gave Lucas a special smile as she put on the ring he gave her.
